MINISTER FOR FINANCE AND URBAN SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 320

ACTEW Employees - Superannuation Entitlements

Ms Follett - asked the Minister for Finance and Urban Services

(1) Are employees of ACT Electricity and Water who were transferred from the Department of Arts, Sport, Environment, Tourism and Territories being denied their right to a refund of their 3% superannuation entitlements.

(2) Why is this the case.

(3) Will affected employees be paid interest for the time

their money has been withheld. _.

Mr Ruby - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) No. There were delays in calculating the amounts owed and in determining which agency is responsible for funding the payments but most entitlements have been paid. Of the 472 former staff involved only 155 have not collected their cheques.

(2) My answer to (1) above clearly states there was no denial of entitlement.

(3) No interest payments will be made.
